must have been pretty interesting.
I'd think it would be better to have it on than off - I'd want to interview that person.
Definitely put it on- most interviewers would find it really interesting and would want to interview you
Bernard L. Madoff summer interns/analysts (Originally Posted: 02/12/2013)
what ever happened to these kids? Obviously I hope the ones who may have knowingly helped the scam are rotting, but what about the innocent students looking for experience with what was previously thought to be a reputable firm, who simply got the coffee, copied the papers, etc.? I'd imagine some of them probably went to elite schools, as once Madoff was a revered "hedge fund manager" (as seen
).Let's just say that's one internship best left off your resume.
I don't think he had any interns
You honestly think an intern would know what was going on? While his brother was in on it, his sons had no clue what the fuck was going on.
"Hi! We are so glad to have you here on your first day of work here at BLM! If you'll just head this way, we'll show you where Bernie perpetrates his fraudulent hedge fund activities (don't tell anyone), you'll be working in the fake trade confirmations department this summer. Let us know if you have any questions."
I wouldn't be deterred if I saw Madoff on someone's resume, especially if they worked in the prop trading division which was legitimate.
